About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is resisting the end of the day and begs for just one more story. It is a perfect tool for de-escalating bedtime friction by turning a familiar nursery rhyme into an imaginative journey. Nicholas Heller expands the classic This Little Piggy rhyme into five distinct, charming tales shared between a grandmother and her grandson. Through playful storytelling and warm illustrations, the book celebrates the bond between generations and the power of creativity. It is ideal for preschoolers who are transitioning from simple board books to more narrative-driven stories. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's desire for connection while gently guiding them toward sleep through the soothing rhythm of a toe-counting game.
